I'm having trouble understanding how Saved Serach Folders work

I finally thought that I would try the Saved Search Folder option. But once I saved a search in a folder and tried to use it, it seems that it doesn't work the way I thought it would.

I have a search that I do often where I have a bunch of electronic receipts from supermarkets and I search my email folders for: Subject: The subject line identifying the receipts Body: The name of the item that I want to find in the receipts reflecting the purchase of that item. One example is Miracle Whip. I can then not only find out how often I purchased the item but how much the price changed over time.

I saved the search figuring that I could pull it up and simply change the name of the item (let's say from Miracle Whip to Cheerios) without having to recreate the search from scratch. But when I clicked on the search folder, it looks like all it does is allow me to search again for Miracle Whip. So it looks like I would have to save a search for every item (dozens of them) that I buy regularly. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it works?
